I'm confused. I have been using pydev happily for a while. All I had to do was get the path to the pydev update site, load pydev and all was fine.

It sounds like a good idea to integrate the Django template with Pydev. But now I am not confident of the install process I should follow. To use Django, I needto download Django. In the course of tracking down Django, I found:

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/faq/install/

I use python 3. And the FAQ page above asks:

"Can I use Django with Python 3?"¶

To which the answer is:

"Not at the moment. Python 3.0 introduced a number of backwards-incompatible changesto the Python language, and although these changes are generally a good thing for Python’s future, it will be a while before most Python software catches up and is able to run on Python 3.0. For larger Python-based software like Django, the transition is expected to take at least a year or two (since it involves dropping support for older Python releases and so must be done gradually)."

Pydev did support python 3.0. And that's all I need right now.

Perhaps the currently available DJango template editor is a piece of Djangothat has bee ported to python 3.0. But I have not seen anything that says thatclearly.

I am guessing scenarios at this point. Does Aptana Studio hide this? Is idea tomake obsolete the need for eclipse?

Anyway What version of aptana studio should I use? I am installing on a 64 bit machine.traces of documentation suggest aptana studio is beta on 64 bit platforms.

e.g."Those who wish to use Aptana Studio on Windows 64-bit, we recommend that they install into Eclipse 32-bit or use the 32-bit instructions above. "

2. If you're using Django, you should probably be in the latest Python from the 2.x series (not on Python 3.0) -- note that Pydev supports any Python version, the issue here is with Django itself.

3. I think the easier way to get an install that'll enable you to use the Django Templates editor is getting the Aptana standalone version from http://aptana.com/products/studio3/download (which has pydev integrated as well as the Django templates editor).

Just to let people know. I tried installing Aptana as a Plug-In, because I want to get started with PyDev. I got the error below.Since I am new to Eclipse and PyDev, I have no idea what to make of it.Perhaps someone can shed some light on this?!Here's the error:
